Re: Points deduction

Bury are behind closed doors at the moment which was in part due to pyrotechnics.

The difference they are under County FA discipline - I haven't seen Wembley ever issue that out.

I don't think they can it would set a precedent which they would have to apply from top to bottom.

Re: Spennymoor V Darlington

Two things might have happened.

Printed teamsheet is wrong. Seen this before the version exchanged ends up being copied over wrong by the person who types up the printed team sheet.

There is a change before KO due to injury in the warm up. As long as everyone is notified of the change it's fine.

Re: Needed points minimum

We need one more win to put it in our hands entirely. That's all I care about. We play Blyth, Rushall, Farsley and Southport so it's in our hands to stop them getting points and to get three ourselves. Those teams are all withing 6 points of us. We need to win one more game than them in the final 8 ...

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?

I've always been unsure about the dividing lines between Darlington 1883 Ltd and the main shareholder, DFCSG. As DFCSG has an overwhelming majority of the shares, perhaps it's time for them to appoint the Ltd. Co. Board from its own ranks. it could be the same people, if DFCSG chose, providing they...

Re: Points deduction

That is the last mention of a points deduction on the club website / news.

Whilst abusing match officials and crowd behaviour issues are against FA rules they aren't contrary to any league competition rules - and only one can result in a points deduction.

Re: Points deduction

The league are the only ones who can issue points deductions and stuff like pryros is the FA's domain.

The only thing you usually get points deductions for is league administrative issues.

Going to jinx it right now - but it is "in our own hands" to be out of the relegation zone at 5PM on Saturday.

Blyth v King's Lynn and Banbury v Southport, they can't all get 3 points!

Football throws more people out than it keep, but I'd never rule out anyone being able to get a good fit somewhere and it working out for a year or two...anything beyond that is a very long time in football.

Re: Blue card & sin bins

Which means a sin bin will be communicated through issuing a yellow card + verbal confirmation to the player to confirm they need to go to the sin bin.

As it has been for the past however many seasons it has been trialled for below step 4.

Re: Goal difference.

Indeed. I think if we were to beat Southport by two goals we would be back level with them on GD as well.

Games against teams around us arguably '7 pointers' never mind 6 pointers as they could reduce the damage of the Chorley / Buxton games.

Re: Darlington v Buxton

Think those numbers are quite conservative.

I know full backs in NPL Division One costing more than what you have down for Barrow there.

And youth strikers on loan from fellow NLN clubs to that level who are paid more than what you have down for Cornish.
